Gotta say, I'm not missing Play Services overly much. I never integrated them too deeply into my daily life anyway, luckily. Gmail - don't care, can just add the account to the regular old email app. KZbin - A combination of Vanced and a browser bookmark is working very well for me. Maps - It does complain that it won't work without play services on startup - then proceeds to work perfectly. No complaints there. The only thing I actually miss is Android Auto because my Hyundai i10 supports it, but I can honestly live with just using the phone itself for navigation. Not really using any of the other stuff, and there's very little I can't get from the Aurora store or APKpure. So for the price of some very minor inconveniences, I get an absolutely stellar phone. That's good enough for me.

[@TechWiredGeek]

Hey Tom, interesting and great video mate! I’ve noticed a lot of these new phone displays are getting wider/taller. First we had displays that were around and closer to the 2.00:1 aspect ratio which, obviously, had many KZbinrs switching from producing regular 16:9 (1.77:1) A.R. videos to 18:9 or 2.00:1 videos, like yourself. Then we had phones, like Apple’s own iPhone X and others, with even wider aspect ratio displays around the 2.16:1 - 2.17:1. Now we’re seeing phones with even wider aspect ratios, like the one shown in this video, with a 2.20:1 - 2.22:1 aspect ratio. There are even some phones with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Which then begs the question, will KZbinrs continue to change the aspect ratio of their videos in accordance with wider aspect ratio phones, could we see KZbinrs eventually producing all their videos in 21:9? It’s just a curious thought I had.

@@AsuquoTravelsProductions you seem to hate huawei, the problem at the moment is trump not google. trump presidency will end then this google issue disappear and everything go back to normal for huawei beating all flagships once again

[@AsuquoTravelsProductions]

squall squall Don’t get me wrong but I don’t hate any brand. I just don’t like the way reviewers change their tunes so fast. The features they say they love with the P40 were the same ones they criticised Samsung S10 and S20 for having or adding.

I completely love this phone 😍😍😍😍😍

@SavageArfad I use Huawei too and have never had any security issues, All the accusations against Huawei are merely accusations, there is no evidence. However, talk about something and you'll soon see IG ads about it , an indication about who is actually extracting data & it sure isn't Huawei

[@lilmario0]

@@HarshG26 will let's be fair here. Your probably a nobody to Huawei. You think they care about your private info? You don't know what you're talking about here and as such .. you shouldn't be encouraging ppl. There's a reason why govs are skeptical of this company and because you feel "safe" does not mean everything is fine.

Absolutely will get it. I am due to upgrade end of this month so I was waiting for it. But I wonder shall I wait for the mate 40 Pro?

Well I own the Mate 30 pro and I can tell that life without GMS is absolutely better :) Huawei offers the best specs (except for the 120Hz thing, but lets see how batteries behave in those phones and how long it takes for Samsung Users to disable the feature). The esthetic of the phones is just perfect (but this depends on each individual opinion) and improves competence in the market, which is always a good thing to have... I don't see myself changing brand for a while

thanks the tech chap for this awsome review ! i enjoyed it

[@hickey85]

P40 pro is very tempting. I just worry I rely on Google maps (android auto in my car), the option of netflix, KZbin apps ect. I guess you don't know without diving in and giving it a go. Loved my p20 pro the last 2 years.

[@markweston182]

Joe Hickey same love my p20 pro, it’s still so fast etc I want to get the p40 pro but I would be so lost without google maps for sat nav. No pun intended ha. KZbin etc you just add a shortcut to the site on home screen it’s just the sat nav. Such a shame this phone looks soooo good.

[@hickey85]

@@markweston182 It is such a great phone, I love the look of the finish on the back too. I'm hoping the oneplus 8 pro is gonna tick the boxes for me.... Oppo findx2 pro is on my shortlist too but OnePlus offer better support in terms of updates (despite being sister companies). What you thinking of getting next?

[@greeenwaters9125]

It's time to give chance to the alternatives... Google may be convenient but there are a lot of better alternatives out there for each Google app... Google cloud and photos ? Get onedrive... KZbin app? Get KZbin vanced (which blocks all ads, features background playback and picture in picture mode.. Much better than stock app), Google maps? Get here we go or osmand... Everything is possible without Google.. You just need to invest a few precious minutes of your life to install the required apks 😄

@@greeenwaters9125 you know of a fix to connect to my car screen? Currently use Android auto.... I could just use the phone screen itself I guess.

@@hickey85 Sir, you may install microg onto your phone... It's an open source framework designed to replicate the Google mobile services... That means any app that requires gms can work with microg with little to no issues... You should try that to solve the issues regarding Android auto... Download Micog from xda-developers website

Great review. I'm still the owner of a P20 pro.. I still wouldn't give it up for anything. As other people have mentioned here the battery life is stunning and the camera setup is impressive. Also I have to mention the freebuds 3 are a stunning accessory.

Got P40 pro and works great l dont need google play store ! Camera is amazing, crazy how good is.

[@cypher3874]

At first I wouldn't entertain this phone. But the more I see the more I like. I'm really underwhelmed with my s20 ultra to sat the least. Was hoping to get rid of that for the upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro. But if the rumours are right about its new price I won't be getting that. I'm leaning towards this phone tbh. I'm not worried about the app situation. There's a work around for those. And in fairness to Huawei their phones in my opinion have the best cameras bar none! They seem to have had the sensible approach. 90hz instead of 120hz refresh rate which is definitely the sweet spot 50x zoom instead of that absolutely useless 100x zoom on my s20 ultra. Yep looking promising.
